On March 11, president Volodymyr Zelensky held a meeting with the military and political leadership of the country.
They discussed the situation on the battlefield and providing the Armed Forces with ammunition, and the construction of new defensive lines.
The military informed about the situation in Kupiansk, Lyman, Bakhmut, Avdiivka, Marianka, and in the south.
Defense minister Rustem Umerov reported regarding the supply of the army with needed resources.
President Zelensky also stressed that the construction of fortifications is an important and urgent task now.
‘Another important topic is fortifications. Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal’s report on the pace of construction of new defense lines. Three lines of fortifications 2,000 kilometers long is a massive task, but the pace is good now. I count on timely completion,’ the president stated.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
Military serviceman of the International Legion for the Defense of Ukraine with the call sign “Paradox” is the crew commander of the American M113 armored personnel carrier. He is a master at using it and is constantly improving, because the legionnaire’s skills are tested every day in battle. You have to drive to the front lines, often under artillery fire and drone attacks.
